India: Driving Rules and Essential Documents

India: Driving Rules and Essential Documents

In India, when you drive, you must have important papers like your driver's license and car registration.

If you don't have them when the police ask, you might have to pay a big fine.

You also need proof of car insurance and a PUC certificate, which shows your car isn't polluting too much.

Good news: you can now use digital copies on your phone!

If you forget your papers, you can show them within a week to lower the fine.

It's smart to keep both paper and digital copies and remember when to renew your documents.
